Wedding Shoe Dilemma



Hey Ya’ll!!!!





   This post is going to be about my wedding shoe dilemma. For a person that love shoes I didn’t realize it would be so hard to pick a freaking wedding shoe! I didn’t want the heel to be too high where I would look like a giant and I didn’t want the shoe to be to plain and/or boring because that is not my personality at all. When I thought I found the right shoe there was always a flaw that came about which caused me not to purchase the shoe. Also, since my wedding dress is white (yea I know lol) I was opting for a white shoe but I was on tons of websites looking for a statement silver shoe. 

 

   The first pair of shoes I ran across was on Macy’s website. I found “Yvonne” by Michael Kors. I absolutely fell in love with this shoe. It was the perfect heel height and the perfect look. They had the right amount of sparkle and the look I was going for. I didn’t want to go over $100 for my wedding shoes and the “Yvonne” shoe was $165.00. A couple of weeks went by and I could not stop thinking about these Michael Kors so I made the choice that I was going to purchase them. When I went to go order them they was sold out of my size!!! I went to every shoe site I could think of and I could not find my size :(. I was sooo upset so the hunt continued.


   The next pair of shoes I ran across was by Badgley Mischka and the shoe was called "Wynter". When I saw these babies my eyes lit up. They were not the average traditional wedding shoe and I’m so not traditional. The heel on the shoe was what really caught my attention. I’m a sucker for a chunky heel and these shoes had just that! I knew I was going to be comfortable in these shoes because of the heel and that the shoe was everything I was looking for. They were white, satin, and had the right amount of sparkle. I found the shoes on www.6pm.com and they had them on sale for $64.99. If you know me then you know I love a great deal! If you were to look for the shoe now they went up to $121.99. The time came for me to order them and guess what…they didn’t have my size!!!! I was sooo upset. I went to other websites and they had them for over $200. I was definitely not paying $200 for a pair of shoes I’ll probably only wear once so once again the hunt continued. 

 

  While on Dillard's website I went to browse some good ole' Steve Madden shoes. I ran across Steve Madden's "Realove Rhinestone" Sandal. I thought they were really cute. The heel height was 4 inches and they had the amount of sparkle I wanted. They were $100 so I ordered them. When I received them and tried them on I was like WHOA because them thangs hurt like heck. There was no platform which I'm used to and the heel was extra skinny and like I said before I'm a chunky heel girl. I kept them for almost a month. I was walking around the house in them trying to break them in but it was a no go. There was no way that I could last through the wedding ceremony and at least the first half of the reception. It was hard to let them go but I had to return them. 

 

 

   About a month went by and I was still on the hunt for my perfect wedding shoes. Last week I was just browsing on Nordstrom website and I ran across some shoes that I really liked but I kept browsing. I ran across the shoe 3 more times after that. The 4th time I was like hmmmmmm. They were not my style at all because for one they are sling backs and then the color of the shoes has nothing to do with my wedding. But again I’m not traditional so I thought I'd give the shoes a try. I ordered them and they arrived at my house yesterday. When I tried those shoes on hunny my eyes lit up!!!! They are soooooo cute!!!! Whoever thought that I would be wearing some sling backs lol. The heel height is perfect, the color is perfect, the design of the shoe is perfect…the shoes are just perfect for ME!!

   I’m so relieved that my wedding shoe hunt is over. I couldn’t be happier about my choice. They are perfect for ME and my Ryan and that’s all that matters. I can’t wait until my wedding day so I can finally reveal them but until then they will remain deep in the back of my closet lol!

   Although we all have different styles, give me your feedback on the shoes I posted. Do you like them? Would you wear them? Are they ugly to you? LoL. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!
